l had frequently noticed that when en-
gagged in deep thought, particularly at
night, there seemed TO be something like
compression of the eyelids, the upper ore
especially, and the eyes themselves were
apparently turned upwards, us if looking
in that direction. This invariably oc-
CURED; and the moment that, by an
effort, | arrested the course of thought
and freed the mind from the subject
with which it was engaged, the eyes re-
sumed their natural position and the
compression of the lids ceased.
Now, it occurred to me one night that
l would not allow the eyes to turn up
wards, but kept them determinedly in
the opposite position, as if looking down;
and, having done so for n short time, |
found that the mind did not revert to the
thoughts with which il had been occu-
pied, and l oon fell asleep. l tried the
plan again with the same result; and
after an experience of two years, | can
truly say that, unless when something
specially annoying or worrying occurred,
] have always been able to go to sleep
very shortly after retiring to rest. There
may occasionally be some difficulty in
keeping the eyes in the position described,
but II determined effort to do so is all
that is required, and / am CERTAIN that if
kept in the down looking position, it will
be found that Composure and sleep will

fully and quietly enough to give the man

A CHICAGO paper considers the posi-
bllity of a beet famine in the neal future.
1t bases its calculations ON the heavy
losses last winter in Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming and Colorado; losses in the
beef-producing states caused by the
drouth this summer, and the great falling
off OF the calf crop last spring.
All of this reads very lu-
gubrious, but the more closely
it approaches the truth the better settled
is the fact that those in the business
should hold on to their ranges and cattle,
even though they change their methods
of running them, and hat now is the
accepted time for Others to embark in the
cattle business. The same paper also in
cidentally alludes to the Chicago dressed
beef monopoly, which is nothing less than
an organized system of highway robbery.
1t is simply monstrous that these middle
men should be in a position to dictate
prices for producers and consumers as
well They alone have reaped a harvest
from the business in the last few years,
but we have reason to believe that their
reign is nearly over. God speed the day.

On. Woman Prefers to Stay In Town and
Enjoy the LuNurIes OF Her Own Home.
There is a woman who ranks among
York, good looking, liked by society men
and women alike, measurably young
not very far on either side of the bound
airy line of 80, that is-who puzzles in
summer everybody who knows her. She
never goes out of town. She has a cottage
at Newport, but has not opened it in five
years; she has a house at Lenox, but
visits it only in the early spring, when
the first flowers are peeping from under
the snowdrifts, or in the late autumn,
when the leaves are turning. She is u
widow, but it has never been supposed
that the vestiges of a grief which does not
keep her from dancing in winter would
shut her up within brick walls in July.
What keeps you here in this weather."
a reporter asked her, as the sun beat
against the closed blinds two or three
mornings ago.
Il stay simply because l like it, " she
replied. New York is summer resort
enough for me. Everybody passes through
the city from east, west, north or south
on their way somewhere in course of the
summer, and l meet more friends than l
could in n other way. l nave a fancy
for being comfortable, too, and summer
is no time to try to be comfortable in the
country. When it is hot there, of all
times, one wants the conveniences of
ones own home"
But don't you pine for a sight of
something green?"
For the matter of that l have green

At mention of a garden the writer's
eyes opened wide, for the house, like
many another in the city, covers every
inch of ground belonging to it that the
building laws allow. But my hostess led
the way, not out, but up. Her garden
was on the roof, and an elevator logged
lazily skyward with us. A roof garden
is a New York whimsy, and this roof
was most elaborate. A light rail inclosed
the elevated promenade, and this was
completely hidden from view by the rank
growth of scarlet bean, nasturtiums, morn
ing glories and other climbers that ran
over it. Pots of palms, tree ferns and
every known plant that will stand the

The feverish activity of this generation,
the race for place and wealth, the impa-
thence with delay, the readiness to sacri-
fee health maxims, in order to take a
short cut to success, make a prophecy
that these swift paced individuals reach
old age an exceedingly venturesome pre-
diction. Probably, if young men about
deciding IN a calling should consult a
doctor for advice as to the vocation most
conducive to longevity, their graves
would not open so early, but what about
their work? No doubt if any of the men
and women over so now living in New
England were asked their recipe for at
tanning old age their answer would be, in
part: Work as hard as you can, and
think as little as possible about breaking
down. Boston Advertiser.
